Parallel talk

Muon colliders offer high-luminosity, multi-TeV collisions with minimal synchrotron radiation, but their feasibility depends on advancements in muon production, cooling, and storage. The proposed Muon Collider Demonstrator complex addresses two key aspects: with the neutrinos from Stored Muons (nuSTORM) experiment for muon storage, and the 6D cooling demonstrator for muon cooling.

The 6D...
